Chocolate Chip Cookies

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

Essentials Chocolate Chip Cookies scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. Per serving it carries 1g protein and 3g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Essentials Chocolate Chip Cookies lists 23 ingredients, starting with Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Niacin, Iron and Thiamin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

54 kcal per serving, or 489 kcal per 100g. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Essentials Chocolate Chip Cookies on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 15/100 Essentials Chocolate Chip Cookies scores worse than most snacks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in snacks is Mary's Gone Crackers Organic SuperSeed Seaweed & Black Sesame Crackers at 100/100.
